Chapter 1945 The God-killing Sword


    The Lingji n had already traveled deep into the valley. However, on the fourth day, an unexpected


    obstacle kept them from advancing. A group of well-trained demonic spiritual beasts had encircled


    them silently, moving like a well-trained army.


    They fought the ferocious beasts for an entire day, and the Lingji n had suffered significant losses.


    The dead and the injured kept piling up.


    In the Lingji n''s camp


    Ruth and the Spiritual Emperors had gathered in her tent to discuss what they could do about the


    matter.


    "Elder Ruth, I''m afraid we can''t go on like this. Four of our Spiritual Kings have either died or got


    seriously injured today. We should withdraw for now!" urged one of the Lingji n''s Spiritual Emperors,


    who looked tremendously worried.


    The other Spiritual Emperors nodded in agreement. After all, they were well aware of the danger of the


    Ethereal Valley, and they believed that if the team''s overall strength weakened due to this altercation,


    they would be in greater danger.


    Ruth thought about it for a while, her eyes narrowing as she deliberated. Indeed, they had been


    marching for so long. If they returned now, all their previous sacrifices and efforts would be in vain.


    Moreover, the Lingji n hadn''t gained much in this trip to the Ethereal Valley. The team she had led


    was annihted in the crystal pce, leaving only her and several Spiritual Emperors. At this rate, their


    expedition in the Ethereal Valley would be worthless, especially if they didn''t gain more treasures.


    "I need to think about this some more. You can leave now," Ruth informed the rest with a wave of her


    hand. She needed to think this through.


    Assenting to her request, the Spiritual Emperors left Ruth''s tent.


    Rocky and Vivian were in the Lingji n''s camp at this time, and they saw the Spiritual Emperors


    staggering out of Ruth''s tent. They couldn''t help but exchange knowing nces.


    "It seems that the death of the spirit warriors in the crystal pce has greatly affected the Lingji n.


    Otherwise, with their overall strength, they could have at least reached the foot of the snow mountain,"


    Rocky noted.


    "Then it''s time for us to act. My wounds have mostly healed, so I don''t think I''ll hold you back," Vivian


    dered passionately. She had stayed with the Lingji n for the past few days, resting and healing.


    Rocky had also helped her heal her wounds every day, and because of that, she recovered much


    faster than she had expected.


    "The Lingji n has been a great help to us these days. Even if we have to leave now, we should at


    least do something to repay their kindness!" Rocky said with a smile.


    "What do you think we should do?" Vivian asked. She knew that Rocky must have something on his


    mind.


    "It''s getting dark, and I''m sure you have a lot of pent-up energy from the past few days. How about we


    find a ce to exercise our muscles and bones once it''s dark? After I absorbed the devil spirit''s power,


    the fighting energy at the Mystery Stage advanced to the Earth Stage as well. Maybe we can go


    somewhere and test it out," Rocky suggested with a wicked glint in his eyes.


    "That sounds great!" An enthusiastic smile shed across Vivian''s face. Of course, she knew what he


    meant.


    It didn''t take long for the sun to go down, and the entire valley soon fell into darkness.


    Scattered bonfires rose inside the Lingji n''s camp, and all the n''s spirit warriors retired to their


    tents and rested after the long and tiring day.


    At this point, two ck shadows stealthily left the camp, heading in one direction.


    The next morning, Ruth gathered all the Spiritual Emperors of the Lingji n again.


    "I thought about itst night. As you know, our team has suffered a lot of serious casualties. If we force


    ourselves to pass through the valley again, I''m afraid it mightpromise our vital energy, and we


    might end up losing more than we have gained. Thus, I have decided we should go back the way we


    came. We can pass the time exploring more unknown areas for now, and who knows? Maybe we can


    get something before we leave!"


    Ruth exined to the others.


    The other Spiritual Emperors nodded readily, satisfied with her decision.

    At this moment, a Spiritual King came in a hurry.


    "Elder Ruth, someone ughtered the group of demonic spiritual beasts that blocked our way


    yesterday!" she recounted briefly.


    The shock left Ruth and the Spiritual Emperors speechless when they heard this. Who killed all those


    demonic spiritual beasts? Could it be warriors from other ns?


    However, if even the Lingji n wasn''t strong enough to aplish such a feat, how could those


    teams do that? They were stronger than any of them.


    "Elder Ruth..." At this time, two more Spiritual Kings rushed into the camp.


    "What happened this time?" Ruth turned to the two neers.


    "The two Spiritual Kings from the Wankong n have disappeared. They left a note, along with these


    seemingly powerful treasures," answered one of the Spiritual Kings promptly.


    The other Spiritual King nodded as she showed them the handful of treasures she was carrying. There


    were seven to eight treasures in her hands, including a divine treasure.


    Seeing this, the Spiritual Emperors were all dumbfounded. These treasures were invaluable for the


    spiritual race, and not one of them had treasures as valuable as these.


    Ruth took the note in her hands and began to read. It said, "Thank you for taking care of us in the past


    few days. As a sign of our gratitude, I''ll be leaving two surprises for you, Elder Ruth. I hope the Lingji


    n will build a good rtionship with the Wankong n in the future. Thank you in advance. Rookie."


    After reading it, Ruth couldn''t help but sigh. "I didn''t expect to owe them one more favor. No wonder


    that guy was able to leave the crystal pce unscathed. The Wankong n sure has an abundance of


    hidden talents!"


    "Elder Ruth, what''s going on?" a Spiritual Emperor asked when it appeared that Ruth wasn''t inclined to


    talk.


    "Okay, listen up! If you find anything of note in the following days, make sure that you share it with the


    Wankong n. Do you understand?" Elder Ruth instructed the others.


    However, this only confused the Spiritual Emperors more. They had no idea what Rocky and Vivian


    had done, so they didn''t know why they should share their harvest with the Wankong n. But since


    this was Ruth''s wish, they could do nothing but obey.


    At this time, Rocky and Vivian had already left the Lingji n''s camp. They had gone past the valley as


    well and were getting closer and closer to the snow mountain.


    Unfortunately, the demonic spiritual beasts ran rampant in this area, and most of them were stronger


    than a medium-stage Spiritual Emperor. They wouldn''t make progress if they weren''t powerful enough


    to face these beasts.


    Finally, the two of them arrived at the foot of the snow mountain. They were exhausted, but they had


    passed all the tests and took down the ferocious beasts.


    The road leading to the snow mountain was harsh and unforgiving, covered in slippery, thick snow. The


    Ethereal Valley was mostly a no-flying zone, and so was the snow mountain. Therefore, the two of


    them had no choice but to walk all the way up. They also had to keep their guard up in case any bird-


    like demonic spiritual beasts swooped down on them.


    Two days passed in the blink of an eye.


    Rocky and Vivian finally reached the snow mountain''s peak.


    But to their surprise, the peak appearedpletely empty, and the entrance to the Holy-Evil World was


    not where they expected it to be. There wasn''t even a trace of it.


    "Hey, did you make a mistake? The entrance must be somewhere else," Vivian asked Rocky as her


    eyes swept around them in confusion.


    "That''s impossible. I saw the devil spirit''s memory, and it can''t be wrong. The entrance to the Holy-Evil


    World is here somewhere..." Rocky insisted. He, too, felt that something was off, but he believed that


    memory was urate.


    "Maybe the entrance has been concealed. That''s why we can''t find it!" Vivian eximed. It seemed that


    her vast experiences had truly made her wise.


    "That''s possible." Rocky nodded in agreement. However, it was strange that he and Vivian still couldn''t


    find the concealment with their strength. That indicated it wasn''t an ordinary cover-up. And if that were


    the case, the only way to break this cover-up was to use the God-killing Sword.
